at Singapore Expo now with my Mum, to go to the food fair. Its very crowded, seems like food is still an attractive temptation lol.
Had a great day with tj lib ppl ytd, went to the new bowling centre at downtown east with them, the place is great! Shall go again soon. After the game we went to tm to watch Drillbit Taylor, quite a funny show. We were doing funny stuff inside the cinema, cos we were afraid of dripping the cheese from our nachos onto each other's bag haha
Ana, Bronson got 3rd in class despite getting only 61 for Chinese! :)

小和尚跟老和尚下山化缘,走到河边,见一个姑娘正发愁没法过河。老和尚对姑娘说,我把你背过去吧。于是就把姑娘背过了河。
小和尚十分惊讶,却又不敢问。这样又走了二十里路,小和尚实在忍不住了,就问老和尚说,师父啊,我们是出家人,你怎么能背着那个姑娘过河呢?
老和尚就淡淡地告诉他,你看我把她背过河就放下了,你怎么背了二十里地还没放下?
觉得这个小故事传达了孔夫子的思想,非常有意思。的确,该放下时且放下,因为宽容别人其实是给自己留下来一片海阔天空。

Am so happy today! Cos I got a hamster!! Her name is Pinkie, a black bear species!! Its so hard to find it cos normal pet shops never sell.. Managed to find it at Serangoon North.. Shall post up her pics someday..
Busy as i may seem, but i realise that many things are not as unforgettable as I thought.. is it just that my memory is not as good? perhaps its better that we dun use up our so called brain-memory to store too much of the past memories.. will it be better if we just concentrate on the future, planning ahead, and just forget about the past happiness and unhappiness? No, I just want to remember those beautiful memories and forget about the unhappy ones.. its not that easy, especially if something really makes you so unhappy that it affects you so much so that you can't forget it all..
There may come a day when our brain functions just like our thumbdrive, we can choose what to store and what to delete.. in that case, we can choose to delete away those unhappy memories that we dun wish to remember.. will it make the world a better place to live in??
Everything provides us with a learning opportunity, so I think if we just 'delete'away the unhappy memories and forget all about it, we may lose the lessons learnt from that incident as well.. 俗语说:有得必有失。所有的得与失其实都让人领悟某种道理,问题在于我们如何去看待它,我们利用哪一种心境去面对它。正如所有人都不可能是完美的,也不可能凡事都能达到本身所定下的水准与要求。也不是说应该降低水准与要求,只是觉得我们都该坦然面对,接受对方的不完美。可这一切谈何容易?只能不时地提醒自己:我也不是完美的,凭什么要求别人是完美的;我不能凡事都达到对方的要求,又凭什么要求对方一切都能符合我的要求呢?
相信只要所有人都肯用一种将心比心的心态去处世待人,一切都会是美好的,一切都会成为美丽的回忆!

Happy Mother's Day to my dearest Mum!!!
Had dinner at Hiang Suar restaurant at bedok..
Been slacking this holidays, dun think will be looking for any jobs.. haha but am aiming to exercise more lol... at least 3 times a week, which i think is rather reasonable.... hmm chatted with zk the other day, seems tat he has grown more mature over the years, and has changed his perspective in relationships.. well, the fact that he's planning ahead for his future, and wanting to go overseas for studies showed that he has really grown up and no longer the childish boy i used to know..haha..
i guess as we grow, we get to know more people, see and experience more things and hence will be more mature.. i think this is the same as 家有一老,如有一宝。 cos the elderly, or rather ppl who are older tends to have 更多的人生经验,因而也能提供我们更宝贵的意见。相信凡是多听取他人的意见,是有利无弊的吧。
常听人说:“健康就是财富”,总以为那只是老一辈的人的口头禅。但是事实证明并非如此,所有人都应该珍惜自己的健康……

Seems to be blogging lesser during the holidays.. haha.. not that i'm very busy, nor that i have nothing to blog.. sometimes its just not knowing where to start..
had a great day cycling at ECP with Dear last fri! rented 2 hours of bike, cycled till the U-jetty that my parents used to bring me there when i was young.. many beautiful memories.. sat at the break-waters and listen to the waves before heading back.. drank the coconut drink at the hawker -- something i never failed to do when i go cycling at ecp =P
after cycling went to sgh for blood test n appt.. went to the renovated chinatown hawker for dinner, but not many stalls were open..most importantly, my favourite chee cheong fan stall still not open.. haha..
many things await us to explore in life.. many frens, whom i tot are just 'normal' frens turn out to be those i can actually confide in.. but i think all i can do now is to live my life to the fullest, cos there's really no point worrying about the future... though the chances are high, at least its not something fatal, it should be a blessing in disguise i suppose... that made me cherish my life now and treasure the moments i have... I shall overcome the fear!
I still want to travel to many parts of the world.. hope to be able to bring my parents to Yunnan by next year..
